I cannot get print merge to work in X6.
No matter what I do, it only brings up the first post in Print Preview even though it takes considerable time to create the preview, just like it was going through all posts.

I've tried back and forth between X5 (where it works flawlessly) and X6, comparing all settings, but still get a useless result in X6.

Tried with an old file, created in X5, as well as a fresh one created in X6.

Anyone else seeing the same thing, or does it work on your end?

It appears that it works if "Current document" is selected instead of "Current page" in the print dialog.
This was not necessary in X5 and shouldn't be necessary for a single page document.

Moreover, analyzing a document with many database posts to print takes forever.

This is definitely not right.

X6 is a mixed bag for me with mail merge. I have had it be faster AND slower than X5.

If it is slow going I merge to new file, then I send to print.
